Pocket Knives

Chapter One

~Storms POV~

"Class next week we will be starting to read The Outsiders" My teacher announced, my best friend Mitch jumped up and down in her seat.

"Storm you need to watch the movie!! Johnnycakes is so cute!!" She awed, I slowly moved away from my best friend as if she were a murderer, but laughed.

"Yeah yeah" I shrugged "I'm just glad school is over now..." I waited for the bell to ring, when it did we made our way down to my locker. I put in my earbuds and turned my music to a minimum and walked out with her, she hugged me and forced me to drag her out of the school, I heard clapping behind me as I walked out.

"We are not dating!!" I claimed, my friend nodded, still hugging me, I sighed. "Okay dude your going to chock me to death before I can ditch gym class again tomorrow" I laughed jokingly, of course I didn't actually ditch gym, I just wasn't capable of doing it because I injured my spine a few years back and I could hardly move without being in pain.

"DUDE! WATCH THE OUTSIDERS" She called after me, I chuckled and nodded, waving goodbye and walking towards my moms car.

"So what did you do today" she yawned, I smiled.

"Well we are reading a book called The Outsiders in English next week " My mom looked at me then back at the road.

"I practically grew up with them!" She laughed and proposed that we watch the movie tonight, I agreed and looked out the window the whole way home.

"STORM!!" My neighbour and friend called out. Ranting on about something, I laughed lightly and told her about my English class and how I was failing math , slowly catching up. I bid her goodbye and set my stuff down, deciding to practice my flute playing, I had a scales test tomorrow and I still didn't know how to play the E flat scales.. I finished playing just as my mom got a call from someone.

"Thanks Vicky, I'll tell Storm that.. She'll be home alone for a bit tonight" My mom said as I eased dropped.
